Sticky toffee pudding that can be made on a weeknight. Yes, you read that right. This decadent dessert can be made in less than 20 minutes and is gorgeously silky when steamed in the microwave. Plumped dates and store-bought caramel sauce bring it over the top.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.
